Benefits of technology

Enables controlled communication in protected areas by restricting disruptive services without user intervention, ensuring minimal disruption while allowing essential communications, and providing logs of restricted sessions for users.

Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, some of these services are inappropriate in different environments or even disturbing.
The disturbance of such services can be both to the environment (people / devices around the end user) or to the user himself (losing focus or distracting him).
Nevertheless it is clear that the transaction / service initiator cannot be aware of the end user location therefore cannot avoid the disturbance.
The disadvantage is that the end user losses all way of communication.
In many scenarios, for example public places this is even illegal.
The disadvantage of this approach is that it involves a voluntary activity which not always happens.
For example the user may malfunction the handset, forgets or doesn't want to cooperate with the environment request.

Abstract

A method and apparatus is disclosed to restrict access services to a communication device. The services may be restricted based upon hardware characteristics, geographic characteristics, user specifications of the communication device and / or specified rules. The method and apparatus may restrict its service to only specific applications suitable for the environment and the time. Upon a request for a service that is now restricted, the method and apparatus may notify an end user that the service was requested. Further, the method and apparatus may notify an originator of the request that the service is not available and may ask for a short message to be delivered to the end user.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 116,264, filed on May 26, 2011, assigned U.S. Pat. No. 8,649,823, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 348,775, filed on May 27, 2010, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention relates to the field of cellular communication, and more particularly, to a femtocell based system.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Modern cellular handsets provide today a large range of services: Voice calls, SMS, Mails, Data browsing, MMS, instant messaging, browsing, etc. Nevertheless, some of these services are inappropriate in different environments or even disturbing. Examples: handsets ringing in a cinema or a theatre, during live broadcasting, etc. The disturbance of such services can be both to the environment (people / devices around the end user) or to the us...
